PIPE.

Application filed March 16, 1927. Serial No. 175,701.

My invention relates to smokers pipes and consists of a novelconstruction whereby the bowl thereof and also a portion of the stemsection is lined with a material which may be molded in place, thislining being preferably of a material having absorbent qualities for thenicotine. Y

The object of my invention is to provide an outer 01' enclosing shell ofany desired material, such for instance as wood, and to give this anabsorbent lining by molding it in place. The purpose of the outer shellis both as a protection for the enclosed lining, which might of itselfhave slight resistance to breakage, and also for looks, thereby to givethe pipe an attractive appearance. The purpose of the lining is tosecure a desirable smoking quality, to absorb deleterious substances andalso to permit renewal;

In the accompanying drawing, I have shown a pipe which'is illustrativeof my invention, and in the claim terminating this specification, I willspecifically define the novel features thereof.

Figure l is a longitudinal section, and

Figure 2 is a bottom View of my pipe.

The enclosing shell has a bowl section 1 and a stem section 10, thesebeing of integral character. About the bowl mouth is an in- I In thebottom of the bowl and, preferably, also in the bottom of the stemsection, are holes 2. V I

The bowl and the stem section are provided with a lining 3, which issecurely held in the bowl by the flange 11. That part which is in thestem section has a draft channel 4.

Each of the holes 2 is filled with the same material as the lining. Thebowl lining 3, the stem lining 31 and the plugs 30, are all one integralbody, molded in place. terial employed for this may be anything The mafound suitable and capable of being so molded. Itshould preferably haveniootineabsorbent qualities.

The stem lining 31 stops short of the end 10 sufficient to form achamber 50 for the reception of the mouth piece 5.

The flange 11 about the bowl mouth protectsand holds in place the liningmaterial,

permitting successful use of material which otherwise would not haveproper strength.

The integral plugs or pins 30 also serve to hold the lining securely inplace. By the use of proper lining material, it is an easy matter,

to furnish a new lining for such a pipe when- Q ever the lining hasbecome too saturated with nicotine. The plugs 30, extending to theexterior surface of the pipe, indicate by their saturation theconditionof the liner and when it is necessary to reline. They also act as anabsorbent drain, permitting the moisture and nicotine. to soak throughto the surface of the pipe.

A desirable material. for the lining would be made from a burnt clayproduct which had been ground and then mixed with a cementitious mixtureand molded in place. This would possess the cool smoking and absorbentproperties of a clay pipe and be protected against breakage by theenclosing casing.

What I claim as my invention is:

Apipe comprising an integral enclosing shell consisting of bowl and stemsections and provided with an inwardly extending flange about the bowlmouth and holes extending through the bottom of bowl and stem, and alining of material molded in place within said bowl and filling theholes in the bottom there- Signed at Seattle, Washington this 10th dayof March, 1927. v
